Cardiac Glycoside Ouabain Exerts Anticancer Activity via Downregulation of STAT3
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Cardiac glycosides are plant-derived steroid-like compounds which have been used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Ouabain, a cardiotonic steroid and specific Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, has been rediscovered for its potential use in the ...

Stabilisation of Na,K-ATPase structure by the cardiotonic steroid ouabain [PDF]
, 2013 Cardiotonic steroids such as ouabain bind with high affinity to the membrane-bound cation-transporting P-type Na,K-ATPase, leading to complete inhibition of the enzyme.

Ouabain-induced cytoplasmic vesicles and their role in cell volume maintenance [PDF]
, 2015 Cellular swelling is controlled by an active mechanism of cell volume regulation driven by a Na+/K+-dependent ATPase and by aquaporins which translocate water along the osmotic gradient. Na+/K+-pump may be blocked by ouabain, a digitalic derivative, by

Ouabain and Serum Sodium [PDF]
Hypertension, 2005 To the Editor: Sodium-dependent mechanisms play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. He et al recently demonstrated that in normotensive and hypertensive subjects an acute reduction in salt intake, from 350 to 10 mmol/d for 5 days, was associated with a decline in serum sodium by ≈3 mmol/L.1 Conversely, a progressive increase in salt intake ...

Thyroid thermogenesis in adult rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture: direct action of thyroid hormone in vitro. [PDF]
, 1979 We have studied the effect of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) on the respiration of adult rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture prepared from hypothyroid rat liver. After addition of T3 to the culture medium at a concentration of 2 x 10(-7) M, oxygen

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 Ouabain increases vascular resistance and may induce hypertension by inhibiting the Na+ pump. The effects of 0.18 and 18 µg/kg, and 1.8 mg/kg ouabain pretreatment on the phenylephrine (PHE; 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 µg, in bolus)-evoked pressor responses were ...

Wistar rats resistant to the hypertensive effects of ouabain exhibit enhanced cardiac vagal activity and elevated plasma levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ouabain is a cardiac glycoside produced in the adrenal glands and hypothalamus. It affects the function of all cells by binding to Na+/K+-ATPase. Several lines of evidence suggest that endogenous ouabain could be involved in the pathogenesis of essential

Hypertensive effects of the iv administration of picomoles of ouabain
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011 Ouabain, an endogenous digitalis compound, has been detected in nanomolar concentrations in the plasma of several mammals and is associated with the development of hypertension. In addition, plasma ouabain is increased in several hypertension models, and
